Pulsed field ablation for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new procedure called pulsed field ablation using a special catheter to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of heart rhythm problem that comes and goes. It may be an option for people whose AF hasn't been controlled well with medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) that comes and goes, with at least two episodes in the last six months.
- You have tried at least one heart rhythm medication that didn't work well enough.
- You have not had a previous ablation procedure for AF.
- Your AF has never lasted longer than 7 days at a time.
- You do not have a pacemaker or implantable defibrillator.

This study tests a new catheter system, called Varipulse, to see if it's safe and effective for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), a heart rhythm problem. People with short-lasting AF who haven't been helped by medication may be able to join.
This trial tests a new method called pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AF), a type of irregular heartbeat. It aims to safely stop AF episodes by targeting specific areas in the heart, and may help people with paroxysmal (coming and going) or persistent AF who haven't had this procedure before.
This study tests a new catheter and generator system to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat that lasts more than a week). It may help people whose symptoms haven't been controlled by medication and who need a procedure called ablation to fix the heart's electrical signals.
This study tests a newer ablation technique using pulsed electrical energy to treat atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat). You may qualify if you were recently diagnosed with AF and haven't had ablation before.
This study tests a new type of ablation called pulsed field ablation to treat paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF that comes and goes). It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective at isolating the veins that trigger AF, and it may help people who still have symptoms despite medication and are having their first ablation.
This trial studies a new procedure called pulsed field ablation to treat brief episodes of atrial fibrillation (AFib). The goal is to see if it can help reset the heart's natural electrical system and reduce symptoms.
